Paradidatic Book, City, Place, Landscape, Timbaúba dos Batistas.
The objective of this work is the elaboration of a paradidatic book that discourse about the Urban Geography of Timbaúba dos Batistas. Assuming that Geographic Education is based on knowing the local reality and being able to compare with other realities of different scales, we seek with this production to assign meaning to the knowledge of the place of origin of the students. The textbooks adopted in schools do not contextualize this reality, due to its scale of national coverage. The research developed aimed the production of a paradidatic book, directed to the 6th year of elementary school, which consists in a contribution to teaching about conceptual approaches on place and landscape. The book is organized in five chapters that include the socio-spatial formation, the urban configuration and the main cultural manifestations, the artistic figure of Elino Julião and a methodological proposal with suggestions and activities to be developed with the students. The writing process of this book consists of an effort to contribute to teaching in the perspective of Geographic Education and School Geography, that is, content that assumes importance and meaning for the student by dealing with the reality where their experiences occur, and also for the improvement of pedagogical practices.
